CHICAGO, May 19, 2025 — The third annual Double Good Days, an event designed to spread joy to children with special needs, their families, and caregivers, will be held on June 8 at the Kohl Children’s Museum in Glenview. Registration is open for the free event, which will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and feature 10 engaging multi-sensory activities, including therapy animals, adaptive sports, and popcorn. Double Good Days was established to provide more social opportunities for children with special needs.

Children can participate in a variety of activities, such as interacting with miniature therapy horses and dogs, dancing at the silent disco, playing with slime, and trying adaptive sports and skills stations. The inclusive and accessible experiences allow attendees to explore and participate in a secure environment. This year, Special Olympics Illinois and Special Gifts Theatre are joining returning partners like GiGi’s Playhouse and Rainbow Therapy Animals. Last year’s attendees described the event as “a blessing” and “a rare moment of belonging.”

“It’s an honor to provide joyful memories for children with special needs and their families,” said Double Good Kids Foundation Co-Founder Tim Heitmann. “Seeing the big smiles on the faces of the kids and families says it all—Double Good Days is making a real difference, and we’re proud to continue this commitment for years to come.”

Chicagoans and supporters across the country have made Double Good Days possible by purchasing popcorn directly from the website. Fifty percent of the e-commerce sales are donated to the Double Good Kids Foundation, which organizes Double Good Days.
